One Million

At three a.m., the flashing red light in the emergency room stabbed straight into my chest like a scorching blade. The payment slip the nurse handed me—'1 million surgery fee' in bold letters—made it hard to breathe. On the phone, my wife Vivian Lincoln's lazy voice trembled with panic as she said she had lent the money to Harry Shawn, who just wanted to look good buying a sports car! I went crazy and stormed to Harry Shawn's house, only to find that cheating couple in a disheveled state...收起

Hear Their Lies, Marry His Billions

That night before dinner, while tidying up the house, I found a stranger's long hair tangled in my husband Luke Flores's underwear. Suddenly, a seductive voice pierced my mind: "That idiot Coco didn't suspect that." At the dinner that night, I smiled as I poured wine for my husband's colleague Gianna Scott, but overheard her proudly scheming: "Once I get Luke's down payment, I'm breaking up with this loser." And that so-called "loser" boyfriend Jonas Trent she kept talking about was quietly making plans, sneering to himself, "If she ever finds out about my billion-dollar fortune, she'd probably go crazy." It wasn't until I deliberately caught that cheating couple's disgraceful acts in the bedroom on camera and exposed them to...

My Sister Died in His Car

"Jenny Lopez, sign this! Your sister's death was an accident!" The bodyguard pinned me firmly against my sister's tombstone, the paper of the agreement nearly stabbing into my eyes. "An accident?" I clenched my teeth and forced out a cold smile, my gaze drifting past him to the fireworks bursting in the distant night sky. I wrenched his hand away, the agreement scattering across the ground. "Tell him I will never sign." "You think you can?" The bodyguard sneered, "Mr. Spears can make you disappear with the flick of a finger." I said nothing; I only clenched my fists so tightly that my nails bit into my palms. Years later, as he gazed upon the face before him—the spitting image...

The University Dream

The cheerful laughter and chatter in the private room of the restaurant grated on my ears. My father was gently piling food onto Nancy's plate. She is his sponsored student. And the doting look in his eyes was something I'd longed for twenty years and never gotten. "Nancy, you're truly amazing for getting into Riverland University." Amid the guests' compliments, Nancy hung her head shyly. "It's all thanks to Professor Scott's help." In the corridor, I overheard someone say: "Nancy missed Riverland University's cutoff by nine points. Professor Scott pulled strings through to get her in." Nine points. Three years ago, I missed that same cutoff by just one point and failed to get in. Back then, I knelt before...

The Engagement Scandal

At the engagement banquet, my fiancée's childhood male friend publicly played her private photos, demanding our child take his surname and that she travel with him every year. I fought back by exposing his previous attempt to murder me by tampering with our gas valve. Yet my fiancée called me heartless and smashed a wine bottle at me. When I withdrew all my assets, they began to slander me online...收起

The Imposter Falls

Fingertips trace the intricate gold-thread embroidery on the wedding dress; beneath the cold silk surges a bone-deep hatred. In the mirror, dressed in my wedding gown, I was once the most dazzling bride-to-be in City J—until that wedding turned into a blood-soaked battlefield. My trusted elder brother, my deeply beloved fiancé, and my loyal bodyguard all conspired, pointing to my stand-in as they watched me crumble vein by vein with cruel smiles. Amid the searing pain of a stray dog's fangs sinking into my neck, I cursed and shut my eyes. When I opened my eyes again, the calendar glaringly stopped the day before the wedding—this time, I'm going to rip apart the lies they carefully wove, body and soul.收起

A Shadow Lover

I was forced to give blood to his unattainable lover; he held a gun on me, saying she was more important. When the doctor announced I was pregnant, he sneered, "Do it, that b*stard is useless." He shattered my ankle, and I knelt in defeat. Later, I returned with another man's child, dragged him and his unattainable lover into the hell I had crafted.收起

Billion-Dollar Divorce

I'm the live-in son-in-law of a wealthy family, publicly humiliated by my wife who thinks all I do is mooch off her. She dropped 30 million trying to curry favor with City A's heir apparent, and I immediately announced a 100 million donation to smack her down. She flew into a rage and demanded a divorce—I signed without hesitation. When her family went bankrupt and begged to reconcile, I laughed coldly and shut the door. Now, I'm heading back to inherit a billion-dollar fortune.收起

The Midnight Delivery Order

I never imagined that I, just an ordinary delivery guy, would end up involved in something like this. That night at midnight, like usual, I was riding my electric scooter through the darkness, carrying a steaming hot spicy crab, heading straight to Glory Residence—that's River City's well-known upscale neighborhood. The moment the door opened, a woman with a ghostly pale face and the strange vibe coming from that bag made me realize this was no ordinary delivery...收起

Misdirected Vengeance

I watched his wedding to another woman, my heart shattered like a blade. For eight years, I had been his paramour, believing that was love. In my despair, a scavenger elder suddenly called out my forgotten true name. His bride was gravely wounded saving me, and the man I had trusted as my salvation was the enemy who had trafficked me years before. All tenderness was an illusion; his so-called love was a meticulously crafted twenty-year revenge.收起

The Nanny's Plot

I still remember clearly—those hands, rough as sandpaper, gripped my wrist so tightly and shoved me harshly off the sixth-floor windowsill. The debt collector's pounding on the door was deafening, but Lily Clark just smiled coldly, "You never deserved to live the life that was meant for my daughter!" When I opened my eyes again, I found myself back at the first moment she forced me to lend money to my brother. It turned out I wasn't even their biological child—I was the child swapped by that cruel nanny. This time, I'm determined to reclaim the life that was stolen from me!收起

A Rusted Love, A Life in Debt

I once believed that the worn coin was our vow never to part. "When I get rich, Cindy Gilman," Evan Shaw said, pressing the coin into my palm, his eyes bright like stars, "I'll use it to marry you." Ten years later, dressed in suit and tie, he married my stepsister, Tina Leslie. He brought her to my shabby candied hawthorn shop, his voice flat: "Two skewers, please." I threaded the hawthorns and handed them over without looking up. "Fifteen a skewer, scan the code." He reached deep into his pocket and pulled out that old coin, its edges worn down heavily. "Cindy, do you still remember?" His voice was low, "It's what I owed you back then." I pushed...

My Doting Ex Boss

I rolled down the car window and stared at the figure bending over to pick up the exercise books. "Look up. State your name." He lifted his eyes, his voice as cold as ice. "Simon. None of your business." I twirled the diamond bracelet on my wrist and flipped a black card onto his exercise books. "Come with me. Money, power, a future—I'll give you everything." He brushed the black card away with his hand. "I can't accept the charity of Miss Scott." "Charity?" I scoffed. "There's nothing I can't get in this world—you included." He stood up straight. "You can try." I narrowed my eyes and tapped my fingertips against the car window. "I'll try then. Let's see how...

I died in the freezing river water, but woke up in my own bed at home. The name "Best Friend" flashed on my phone screen like a venomous snake flicking its tongue.

Happiness is Never Denied

I was two months pregnant, but at the New Year's party, I heard my husband's childhood friend Penny smile and say: "I did more private things with Leo before." " My husband Leo blushed but didn't deny it. He just said casually, "That's in the past." I had intended to get a decent divorce, but unexpectedly I fell into a deeper conspiracy. Penny turned on the live stream and cried her eyes out. "Leo and I have been in love since childhood. It was always Annie who stood between us!" "She insulted me and even slandered me for stealing!" Everyone started to look down on me, and I became the mistress that all despised. What's even worse is that they...

You Killed Me, Then You Loved Me

My marriage contract was a reckless gamble—betting three years of my youth, betting on a child, betting that he would spare me a glance. "Joseph, if I'm pregnant, would you stay with me a little longer?" I pressed close to his ear, my voice sickeningly sweet. He shoved me away, his gaze cold as ice: "Bella, stop dreaming." That day, I overheard his phone call with Jasmine. "She can't get pregnant." He chuckled lightly, like he was talking about the weather, "That accident... I arranged it." I leaned against the wall, my nails digging into my palm. "Why?" I heard my own trembling voice. He turned around, looked at me, his eyes completely unfeeling: "Because you're not worthy." Later, when...

After the 99th Confession

I stood in front of the tightly closed door, my palms drenched in sweat. Today was supposed to be the day I proposed to Calvin for the 100th time. My heart was filled with anticipation. "Anna, what are you here for again?" Calvin leaned against the doorframe, his eyes cold and a look of impatience tugging at the corner of his mouth. "Calvin, this is the 100th time. You said you'd marry me once I'd done it a hundred times." He let out a soft chuckle, his eyes full of sarcasm. "Don't be so naive. Those were just jokes." My heart plummeted suddenly, as if falling into an abyss. "Why? I've changed so much for you..." "That's just your own...

A Love Designed to Hurt

The phone rang—it wasn't Ethan. I hadn't even had time to react when the door was kicked open. They covered my mouth and dragged me into the car. I was locked in an abandoned warehouse for over ten hours, without eating and drinking, until Ethan burst in with the police. He held me tightly, his hands trembling, his voice quivering: "Elizabeth, don't be afraid, I'm here." After the rescue, he was tender and attentive, until I realized I was pregnant. When I told him the good news, he paused in surprise, then smiled, placing his palm gently over my belly: "I will take good care of both of you." But later, he handed me a paternity test report, his expression...

Dump the Loser, Become the CEO

I was choking on the stench of the dirty Christmas stocking. When I yanked it out, Lucy was wearing my nightgown, with the limited-edition necklace bought with my parents' inheritance around her neck. "Alex Fisher, how dare she do this to me?" My voice was hoarse. "Lucy's just fooling around. Cut her some slack." He frowned. "Fooling around? Using my parents' money to buy a 'counterfeit' to curry favor with your mistress?" I pointed directly at the necklace. Lucy giggled coquettishly. "Alex has been fed up with you for ages. I'm his true love." "True love?" I stepped closer to him. "You tricked me into investing the inheritance to save the company, just to buy this crap?" He roared. "The...

The Madness

I once sacrificed everything for a man—I quit my job, learned to cook the dishes he loved, all so he might spare me a single glance. But he treated me as nothing more than the shadow of another woman, forcing me to wear the white dress she adored, forbidding me from eating the cilantro she despised. In the end, on the eve of his engagement banquet, I overheard their cruel conspiracy—to send me to a mental institution and make me vanish forever...收起

I Married My Fiancé's Rival

On my birthday, my fiancé peeled shrimp for his female assistant but completely forgot I'm allergic to seafood. When I proposed breaking off the engagement, he called me unreasonable.

Later, I married his business rival, while he and his assistant fell into disgrace: one destroyed his reputation, the other became a wanted criminal.收起

Eyes of the Deep

The day my mother slipped into a coma again, I ran through the hospital corridors in my patient gown, heading straight for Uriel Chandler's office. As I climbed the stairs, my foot suddenly slipped—the scattered walnuts looked like a carefully laid trap. I fell, struck the ground, and a sharp pain exploded from my lower abdomen. Before losing consciousness as they lifted me onto the stretcher, I heard Uriel Chandler talking on the phone just around the corner. His voice was low, carrying a cold patience I had never heard before: "Don't worry, the switch in her mother's medication was done so covertly no one will detect it." "These walnuts will just cause her to lose the baby." On the...

The Baby She Lost, The Baby He Had

Pushing open that slightly ajar door, all my sweet illusions froze in an instant. "Rose, once our children are born, we'll have both a son and a daughter—no more regrets." It was his voice. Through the crack of the door, I saw him half-kneeling, holding his brother's wife's pregnant belly with his hands. I leaned against the cold wall, barely keeping myself from collapsing. I fled like a runaway, cold wind choking my throat. Inside the car, I dialed a secret number. "Help me find Anthony Sterling and Rose Xavier. Money is enough." A few days later, I received a response. Staring at the photos and documents in the email, I slipped off my diamond ring. In the dressing table...

Drowned in His Cruelty

In the third year of marrying Henry Deer, he pressed my head into the swimming pool with his own hands—all for another woman. Water surged from all sides, suffocating me like darkness swallowing me whole. After that, I kept forgetting things, my reactions slowed, and he sneered coldly, saying I was just pretending to be crazy and stupid. Until I was strapped to an electric chair, hearing his icy voice: "Apologize, or don't think about stopping." But at that moment, I didn't know this was only the beginning of all the torment.收起

Christmas Nightmare

The snow slammed into my face like a slap. The homeless man grabbed my chin, the sour stench hitting me head-on. His hands groped over my body; I struggled desperately, but my withered left leg was as soft as cotton. "Get away!" My cries were swallowed by the wind and snow. Finally, he cursed and stumbled away. I dragged my broken leg, crawling through the snow leaving a trail of blood, and knocked on the door that used to be mine. The one who opened it was my former mother; she recoiled as if seeing filth. "Why are you here again?" "Mom... save me..." Jill Fletcher approached, her gaze as cold as ice. I clung to the last shred of...

The CEO's Broken Promises

Fireworks still bloomed across the city night sky. I leaned in Louis's arms, staring at our wedding photos looping on the screen, yet not a trace of warmth reached my fingertips. He bent down to kiss my forehead, his voice gentle enough to drown in: "Nancy, having you and Andy makes my life complete." This marriage admired by all was nothing but sugar-coated poison from the very start. That stormy night, I overheard a conversation between Louis and Vivian by chance. "Louis, are you really going to keep hiding this from her forever?" Vivian's voice trembled with unease. Louis let out a cold laugh, his tone sharp and icy: "What else? She's merely a pawn sent by the Shawn family."...

The Headlines of My Death

Everyone thinks I'm greedy, including Ricky Wilson. "Giselle Franco, you really are a shameless b*tch." This hat—I've worn it for three years, enduring humiliation and meekness—and yet I never managed to take it off. Until our wedding anniversary, when I couldn't pay the infusion fee at the hospital, while the television broadcasted live the grand fireworks show he held for his lover. I sent him one last message: "Ricky Wilson, let's get a divorce." He replied quickly: "What tricks are you trying to play now? If you want money, just say so." At that moment, my heart died. I arranged a "death" for myself. A year later, under the small town's sunshine, he found me with red eyes, his voice...

He slammed my medical report down. "What can you give her? A husband who could drop dead anytime?" Outside the door, Mia rushed in and threw her arms around me.

"Mrs. Lewis, how do you respond to the recent gossip about your husband?" A reporter's microphone was practically shoved in my face. Caleb suddenly tightened his grip on my wrist, his voice dropping to a warning whisper: "Don't say anything stupid."

I walked barefoot to the liquor cabinet and poured myself half a glass of wine. Outside the floor-to-ceiling window, the city lights scattered like spilled diamonds. Charles Sinclair slept soundly in the bedroom, his breathing even and calm. How absurd—after sharing the same bed for ten years, it was only this morning that I discovered a woman's earring inside the lining of his suit—shaped like a gardenia, utterly unlike my taste.

They'll surge tomorrow for sure!" A childish voice cut in abruptly, laced with an eerie urgency. That voice! In my past life, I trusted it, poured everything we had into it, only to end up with a stock market crash, company bankruptcy, my husband becoming a vegetable, my son dying a tragic death, and finally being pushed off a high-rise by my mother-in-law.

"I've guarded your 'ashes' for three years, and now you're going to marry Mindy?" His eyes darkened: "Lydia, there's more to this. I can't explain."

The sound of brakes slicing through the rain curtain, the instant the big truck crashed, I clung tightly to Norma in the car safety seat.

He held me, his voice shaking, "Norma is gone, I can't lose you too!" I sobbed, striking him, "It's my fault for not protecting her! Let me die with her!" He held my hand tightly, his eyes steady: "We'll get through this together, for Norma, and for me." I thought life could return to normal. Until that day, when I caught him...

The Dead Wife's Florist

Ten years of marriage—I stood by Simon Gabriel through it all, from having nothing to achieving success, enduring every hardship. Yet there he was, wrapped in another woman's arms, entwined on the streets of F Country! And I, his wife, was kept in the dark, foolishly giving everything I had. It wasn't until the diagnosis of late-stage stomach cancer lay before me that I finally awoke from this dream. Thus began my grand performance of a "fake death"—I want him to realize that losing me is the greatest loss of his life!收起

I'll Meet You Where the Ocean Ends

They all say I took ten million dollars from Chambers Louis and fled the country in style. Bullsh*t. Right now, I'm standing in front of him. He dressed in a suit, married to Cindy Lincoln. "Wanda Taylor?" Chambers Louis asked in surprise, "Why are you back? Ran out of money?" "Chambers Louis," I said, staring him down, enunciating each word, "I've come to give you a special gift." Cindy Lincoln immediately panicked: "Chambers, is she here to ask for money again...?" I looked at Cindy Lincoln: "My dad's life, this broken leg of mine—can your measly ten million dollars buy those?" "Chambers, guess how I made it through these past seven years?" Chambers Louis yanked his hand away from Cindy...

Fading Loyalty

Charles Lopez casually tossed the divorce agreement aside; the paper brushed my face before falling onto the sofa. "Eileen, how long do you plan to make a scene?" He loosened his tie, his voice thick with impatience. I didn't move, just looked at him. "Signing it is best for both of us." He seemed to find it amusing, leaning in close. The familiar scent of his cologne mixed with a hint of unfamiliar, cloying sweetness. "Eileen, if you leave me, where else could you possibly go?" He pinched my chin firmly, "A housewife without a job—how do you expect to support yourself?" I brushed his hand away, my tone so calm it made him frown: "That's none of your concern."收起

All Burn With Me

After being diagnosed with late-stage stomach cancer, I called for comfort, only to be mocked by my closest friends for feigning illness to gain sympathy. To please their new lover, they forced me to drink vinegar that intensified my stomachache and broke every childhood keepsake we had. At the moment I coughed up blood and died, I was bound to a system and returned to the original world to start anew. Those two so-called closest friends, who treated me like dirt, could only live in endless regret...收起

The Mad Doctor Wants My Hands

The smell of disinfectant returned, stabbing into my memory like a needle. "Cynthia," Veronica Salk nudged me with her elbow, her voice barely above a whisper, "he's looking over again. That gaze... exactly the same as in the last life." I stared at Jeff Fitzpatrick rolling up his sleeves in the distance—his hands that had once carved seventy-two cuts into me. "I know." My throat tightened. "He's about to hand us that 'ticket to hell' again." Sure enough, he came over, the velvet box glaring under the light. "Cynthia, Veronica," his voice was as gentle as a serpent's tongue, "there is something I must say to you today." The shutters clicked rapidly around us, our colleagues beginning to jeer. In...

The Designated Bride

"Don't move." As the rusty black cloth was tied over my eyes, I heard the kidnappers' harsh warning. After being shoved into the basement, they handed me a mobile phone: "Call your parents. We want ten billion." My hands and feet went ice cold as I dialed the number: "Mom, I've been kidnapped..." No sooner had I hung up than the basement's iron gate was slammed open. Siegfried Lowell stood backlit, his entire body strapped with explosives. He grabbed me and took off running. Photos of my kidnapping spread across the internet, with rumors saying I was violated by eighteen men. But Siegfried Lowell arrived holding a bouquet of roses. "Don't listen to their lies," he said, dropping to one...

Fake Blindness

The diagnosis certificate of terminal cancer was the heaviest eighteenth birthday gift I had ever received in my life. And in this family, there had never been a place for me. In Mom's eyes, only the two children of my stepfather mattered. My spoiled stepsister Tina always bullied me. And my "blind" stepbrother Jason, who was doted on by the whole family, was even an accomplice in her bullying of me. But I still wanted to realize my last bit of value before I died—I decided to donate my corneas to Jason. On New Year's Eve in the ward, the medical devices ticked away. I dialed Mom's phone number, but all I heard on the other end was laughter and...
